Re: Putin, Said to be Perfectly Healthy, Is Also Nowhere to be Seen.

(Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin is in good health, the Kremlin said on Thursday, dismissing rumours that the leader was suffering from an illness after a foreign trip was cancelled.

A Kazakh governmental source said Putin's trip to Astana scheduled for this week was cancelled because Putin had fallen ill, stirring speculation on social media that something had happened to the 62-year-old leader.

Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, asked by Reuters if the president was in good health, replied "yes".

"He has meetings all the time," he said by telephone. "He has meetings today, tomorrow. I don't know which ones we will make public."

"The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis."
